I am looking to feature stores/products/companies that do something “good” – maybe they contribute to a specific cause, or it is a company that does not test on animals, or it is good for the environment, or something like that. That is the goal of this – as well as entertaining you! I like to be entertained too so I will do what I can to make that happen!

La Isha

So did you take
a guess at Friday’s picture?

If you said
this hotel -

- you were right!

It was the
Cosmopolitan hotel in sunny Las Vegas.

We just spent
last Friday night thru Wednesday there (in Vegas - not this particular hotel) and it was pretty great!

I’m very happy
to say that I have been there, seen it, checked out most of the hotels on the
strip, had a few decent (but mostly overpriced) meals, and walked away having
won just a little bit of cash!

But not quite
enough to quit my day job.

Or actually to pay
for a full tank of gas for that matter!

But I still won
and that’s what is important!

I don’t know if
you noticed just how blue the sky was in that picture – if not, you should go
and take another look. It was gorgeous!

We obviously don’t
mind the heat and with little humidity it was pretty awesome.

It was super sunny the whole time we were there too - and I was there with my sunscreen on and my fake (organic), spray tan!

And we all know
how important it is to take care of our skin – especially when it comes to sun
care.

The company I’m
going to tell you about tonight was started “to create safe yet effective
skincare for women 35+ because this is the age when many women first start to
develop health issues resulting from an accumulation of toxic chemicals in
their bodies that come from years of exposure to dangerous synthetic chemicals
in the cosmetics and personal care products we use.” The founder and CEO of La Isha told me that in our
correspondence.

While I
completely agree with the fact that it is vitally important to take care of our
skin, I slightly disagree with it starting at age 35+.

I am a child of
fair skin and many sunburns. Many more than I would like to admit. And sadly I
have been affected by this mistreatment of my skin already and I’m not at the
35 year age mark yet….I still have a few years to go.

I see so many
younger girls that are being affected by tanning beds and sun worshipping that
I wish we were all told more about it when we were younger.

It was oh so
important to have that wonderful glow for prom that we would all go tanning for
months before.

I think girls
(and maybe even the guys) need to get more information while they are younger.

But regardless
of the age, and my stand point on all of this – I think this is a great company
and I don’t think that if you aren’t 35 yet – that should keep you from
checking out and trying some of the La Isha products.

“Our holistic approach to timeless beauty integrates clinical
essential oil therapy, international research on pomegranate seed oil,
traditional plant lore, aromatherapy and ayurvedic principles for visually
stunning results that support good health. All La Ishá skin care is made on
demand from fresh, natural and organic ingredients that safely combat, repair
and soothe dry, prematurely aging and sun-damaged skin. The entire line is free
of synthetics, fillers, artificial colors, chemical fragrances, phthalates,
parabens, sulfates, petroleum derivatives and known cancer-causing agents."

About La Isha’s
social responsibility:

“Social
responsibility is the cornerstone of La Ishá's corporate policy. Because we are
committed to being environmentally responsible, we are a member of the Green
Business Network, and use recycled shipping materials, no-frills packaging, and
containers made of glass and recyclable plastic. We contribute a portion of our
proceeds to organizations that embrace, strengthen and promote women’s causes.
We are a proud corporate sponsor of The Breast Cancer Fund, a signatory of the
World Cancer Declaration sponsored by the UICC for global cancer control,
voluntarily follow the safety guidelines suggested by the Campaign for Safe
Cosmetics, and are honored to be listed as an approved skin care product line
in the Colorado Breast Cancer Resources Directory
(www.breastcancercolorado.org). Our entire line is also PETA/vegan certified,
gluten and wheat-free.”

Overall, another great company and I invite you to check out their website for more information. The story about how La Isha was started is pretty amazing.

Sharon – I’m so happy to see that your son is doing so well and
that he has been able to recover fully with no reminders of that horrible
experience. Thank you for allowing me to tell my readers about your company!
